Rabe reminds me of broccoli, kale or rabe leaves.

The pattern is fairly easy to memorize and can be knit super long or cowl length. The scarf /cowl is knit in one direction with the cast on edge sewn together to create a unique loop for securing the scarf.

Materials Needed:
Size 8 (5.00mm) straight needles
1 ball of Berroco Weekend 75% Acrylic, 25% Peruvian Cotton
205 yards
Darning needle
cable hook
